Mikaela’s Quotes

“I’d have come for you. I’d have killed or stolen or done any ignoble thing to see you free of that place. You are more special than you realize. I don’t even know your name”—he drew in a breath—“and I would do anything for you.”
― Rachel Gillig, The Knight and the Moth

― Rachel Gillig, The Knight and the Moth
